Product Description

What struck terror in the moors murders case was its incomprehensibility ... the victims were utter strangers.. perhaps the greatest value of this book is that it shows us that the human monsters Brady and Hindley were not one and the same, but 2 different kinds of monster.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent study of evil minds, 28 May 2001

jsboyle1978@hotmail.com (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beyond Belief: The Moors Murderers: The Story of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley (Paperback)

This is a carefully researched and well-written book, focusing on the gruesome murders committed by lovers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley. It contains frank depictions of their brutal crimes and tries exceptionally well to comprehend the relationship between Brady and Hindley that most people find unfathomable. Emlyn Williams has done his research and then end product is informative, insightful and shocking. Very good indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars My first insight into the evil minds of Brady and Hindley, 16 Nov 2002

Robert James "Call me Rob" (Durham, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Beyond Belief: The Moors Murderers: The Story of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley (Paperback)

I wasn't born until 1971, so the dreadful crimes of these two didn't mean much to me until I bought this book in 1994. Fair enough, a lot of it IS surmise; Emlyn Williams guesses at dialogue, and fills in the blanks between facts with fiction, but, in my eyes, it's almost as if he were there with them! Certainly a book worth buying, as it is chilling as it is fascinating.

If, like me, you want an insight into the pair, from their births to their incarceration, then this is the book for you.

1.0 out of 5 stars UPDATED REVIEW - ONE OUT OF FIVE, 7 Sep 2007

Big Neilly (Glasgow) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beyond Belief: The Moors Murderers: The Story of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley (Paperback)

Initially I had reviewed this book and given it 4 out of five, on the basis that it was written with such detail that you almost thought you were there. Now, having read "For the love of Lesley" by Anne West, the mother of Lesley Anne Downey I feel I have to amend my review. According to Mrs West, the author of this book appeared at her door not long after the little girls disappearance. When Mrs West refused an interview, she was told that either she gives him an interview or he would make one up anyway! How much else has he invented for this book? Now. I'm afraid I cannot believe a word that is written in the book. Perhaps the title is right - Beyond Belief!
